I try looking things up, but it’s apparently common news-site practice these days to try to tie things to other news (Gaza, civil liberties, etc), which I don’t want to know about as I’m on a news diet. (If you know of a site that does maybe a weekly newsletter of only the top two things to know about the week that’s passed, please let me know.)
